This was my first time at this restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised. The only issue I had is the time it took between taking our order and the food reaching the table. Even though it was lunchtime we were one of the first people to the establishment. I ordered the trio chicken and it was fantastic. Full of flavor and the portion was huge, I had some to take home for dinner. Our waitress was very pleasant and the atmosphere was nice. I would frequent again. read more

Thai Spice Lees Summit - Trio Chicken - Thai Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I've gave this place plenty of chances but I'm confident in saying you'll never get the same dish you got the last time you were here. I intended on being less direct with the review but I came here a few weeks ago and the food never is consistent. I got the cucumber salad and it was a bunch of lettuce with a little bit of cucumber. Always hit or miss. Hit or miss type of spot. First time at Thai spice it was amazing. Great food and service. Extremely busy for a small restaurant. 2nd time going the waitress forgot my appetizer, I reminded her and still didn't bring it out? Very confusing. 3rd time the pho was oily and more like a stew instead of a clear beautiful bowl of broth and noodle. If I go back it will be for the cucumber salad. read more

This place is OK, but leaves something to be desired. The food is far from authentic... but even misses the Americanized mark by a few notches. Perhaps it has to do with the location- being in a Midwestern town rather than a metropolitan city, but the dishes all lack the classic flavors and spice that a traditional Thai joint offers. The service is slow, but the staff friendly. The food is some fusion of Thai, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Japanese (all with a very Americanized twist). I've tried the crab rangoon (served with a sickening sweet sauce); sweet and sour/eggdrop mix soup of the day, Thai Basil fried rice, Panang Curry, Pho, spicy California rolls, and spicy tuna rolls. None of these dishes stood out to be anything spectacular-- but none were outright horrible. Therefore, this place gets an average review in my book. Not great, not bad, just OK. read more

The best red curry I've ever had. I love this place and come multiple times when I'm in town for work. The atmosphere is very clean and comforting. The spring rolls are delicious and made with the freshest ingredients. I love this place. read more

I like their honeymoon chicken. It's spicy and there's plenty to eat for you!! I'm not crazy about their seafood. read more

Always great food at Thai Spice. I typically eat here at least once a week, typically takeout on Sunday. The people are great but you must double check the order. I specifically asked for additional items on my order over the phone, then double checked to make sure once I picked up. They assured it was in there (should have triple checked). I get home to find out they forgot it. Again, good food but not very competent. read more

Definitely some of the best food in the area. I love the curries and my husband gets the pad Thai every time. I've also tried most of the apps, the sushi, and the desserts - all delicious! We often drive an hour just to do takeout. We've also eaten in several times and it's wonderful. The lunch deals are quite a bargain. read more

I am from Missouri so take that into consideration. I have also tried almost every Thai spot near me. They serve the best Thai food around and staff is always friendly. Their lunch specials are one of the best deals you can find. read more

Worse place I have been to here in lee summit they take for ever to give you the food they tell you 15 min and it's more like 30 min the food than came out room temperature and it is super expensive for the area would not recommend coming here to wait your time read more

Pretty unique dishes, but still some you know you will like. Be prepared for leftovers.

I really hate to be this negative, but this was our honest experience. Appetizer: edamame: dry, lukewarm, not salty at all. It seemed almost raw. Not enjoyable. Sushi: tempura shrimp roll: most pieces didn't contain shrimp at all. Lots of imitation crab. Not impressed. Meal 1: honeymoon chicken: chicken was great, but it was swimming in sauce. I mean, swimming. Almost soupy. The rice wasn't cooked properly. It wasn't sticky, but instead crumbled and was not chopstick compatible. Veggies were sparse and very overcooked. The broccoli was almost yellow. To add, there were several small bones that had to be spit out. Meal 2: island garlic pork: Again, too much sauce. So much sauce that the batter soaked it up and ruined the "crunch" aspect. Chunks of batter were falling off and there were quite a few fat and cartilage pieces as well. Again, minimal/overcooked veggies. Taste was ok. Rice was too dry and ended up saturated in sauce. Sorry. It was just bad. read more

Previously had a love affair with this location, so this is not the rant of a disgruntled diner...rather a sorely disappointed regular who was looking forward to a midday treat. Not today. Instead after arriving after the lunch rush, I waited 10 minutes for the waitress to bring me water and take my order. Hot and sour soup was supposed to arrive shortly after; however, I had to approach the back booth (where all the young staff were sitting talking and texting) to ask if I was going to be served any time soon. Mind you, their kitchen closes at 2:30 and my soup (way thicker than usual, lukewarm and jelly-like) arrived with an apology at 2:35. I arrived for lunch at 2:08... wow, really? When I lived in Lee's Summit 3 years ago, I could eat lunch here in 30 min or less. Perhaps there is new management? Whatever the case, the happenings in the booth near the kitchen were much more important than serving the customers in the front. (Ken, where are you???) I didn't have another 25 minutes to wait for my entree to arrive, so I left....hungry. Do better Thai Spice. read more

I think it's a bit overpriced for the quality of the food, but it's pretty good when you need a quick Thai food fix.

Hands down - THE BEST ASIAN FOOD I've ever had. The Crab Rangoon is AMAZING! Everything is handmade and you can taste the difference. The service was fantastic too. LOVED IT! read more

Thai Spice Lees Summit - Fried Sushi; Thai Tea; Seafood Curry. The waitress was VERY HELPFUL in guiding me through their extensive menu. - Thai Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

Absolutely no understanding of acknowledging a customer when they have stood and sat in the lobby area for 10 minutes, they have a sign saying "please wait to be seated". Multiple open tables and the three servers just continue to walk on by with zero acknowledgement of the three of us. Finally we just got up and left, I made it a point to tell one server they should acknowledge people trying to patronize their business, she had no reply and I walked out. Simply terrible. read more

Okay, I've eaten Thai in and around the KC area, and Thai Spice fits the bill for me. I've been several times and ordered several items off of their overwhelmingly large menu. The service is always prompt, friendly, and efficient. They are quick to recommend something to the unfamiliar (me!), and the recommendations are always spot on! Every dish is fresh, prepared in house, and uses ripe, FRESH ingredients. God it's good. My favorite dish is the Panana Curry with tofu. They bring out a lil condiment tray to help you make it as hot as you want, which is perfect for a hot-freak like me. Another dish you have to try is the mango sticky rice. My date didn't rant and rave quite as much as I did, but I cleared both my meal plate and dessert plate, and wanted MORE. Oh my god. The mango dessert rendered me speechless. Seriously folks, I don't get speechless; it was that good. The meal, mango dessert and tip topped me out at about $25, which is a lot for this poo' college student. Honestly though, it was worth every friggin' dime. I will be back, again and again. read more

Food is great, as always. This is strictly for the customer service. Im not expecting five star treatment but I sure as heck dont appreciate being talked down to. Yes, I ordered all of my dishes vegetarian. There is absolutely no need to give me an amused smirk and repeat ny order in a condescending tone. I will be back, this place is great. But lose the attitude. read more

I agree with Tiger, San Fran has the best Thai cuisine. But how stoked am I that I don't have to hike my ass down to Westport or Blue Springs to get really good Thai food anymore? Order the Thai iced tea. SERIOUSLY. It's the best I've ever had, has some sort of a smokey-like flavor and I'm always hacked that it's mostly ice and no free refills. They finally brought in a lunch menu that consists of everything on the dinner menu except it's 5 bucks cheaper and you get crab ragoon as a bonus (which are really good, they're light and crisp not thick and greasy like the Chinese). I always like to start with the spring rolls...they're good--standard--I would say. They use the sweet and sour vinaigrette for dipping opposed to the peanut sauce, which is what I like. But you didn't ask. I have tried all their curries and every single one is phenom. The yellow being my favorite; with potatoes, carrots, and Thai basil. Service is fast and friendly and the only request I ever have to make is 'more cilantro please'. And this place caters and delivers! I would be your friend for life if you had Thai at your open house, birthday, shower, whathaveyou opposed to dime-sized sandwiches and veg trays. Just sayin'. read more

Having just moved away from the most amazing Thai food in FL (cooked for charity, by little old Thai ladies, at a Buddhist temple), my standards are pretty high. This place hits close to the mark, and makes be miss home a little less My girlfriend and I came in maybe 30 mins before closing, intending to get take out so we didnt bother the servers. Instead, they insisted we stay, and that it was no big deal. Attentive service, and food that was spiced straight from Thailand. When you ask for Thai hot here, they give it to you. My gf had the sesame chicken, and I had a curry, both of which were good. The sesame chicken, though, was awesome. Crunchy, spicy, sweet, perfect. I almost ate all of hers instead of mine. All in all, a fantastic place to do lunch in lees summit for a change of pace. read more

I have visited Thai Spice on several occasions. The first time was fabulous! The second time, food was good, service not so much. The next visit, the wrong order was served, took incredibly long to have corrected, and the service was AWFUL! There aren't many Thai options around work, so the office crew decided to give carry out a whirl. We were told complimentary soup and appetizer are for dine in only, though their menu and website do not specify that. Fine, not a big deal..until they upcharged when we picked up without explaining. The difference wasn't a big deal, though their attitude was. The man told me I was arguing too much, which is why they gave the soup. Honestly, I couldn't care less about the damn soup! I do not care to have somehting I did not receive, nor want charged to me though. We most definitely will not be returning! read more

Thai Spice. So much to say about this little friendly warm atmosphere. :) I love their authentic, and wonderful customer services there. The people there are welcoming and always smiling when you walk in through the door. :) The food is delicious and melts in your mouth, creating a sensational feeling you'll want to come back again for more. They are very courteous and the lady manager there is cute and very nice. She makes sure you get what you want, and on time. The young man who recently served there is very nice too. I came in with my boyfriend and their hospitality needs applauding. Thai Spice is where family lunch and dinners can be enjoyed in a quiet and warm-like atmosphere. Whether you're bringing a date, a family, a quick business lunch meeting, this is the place for you. I really enjoyed their crab fried rice, pad thai, and tom yom. They have an amazing working crew and with that being said, you know you'll get a good experience here. Discover the authentic flavors of Thailand right here at Thai Spice in Lee Summit!!!

Yes, Thai Spice hovers on the bland side, I've seen that in the reviews and I agree. The decor somehow exactly what you'd expect if you'd been to a dozen other Lee's Summit restaurants, I'm not sure what it is about Lee's Summit and restaurant decor but they're all pretty much the same. BUT WAIT! I don't want to beat up on Thai Spice. As of today, I am the Yelp duke of Thai Spice, my girlfriend (the Lee's Summit resident responsible for me being in Lee's Summit to begin with) regularly threatens to introduce me as her boyfriend, the Duke of Thai Spice. The food is totally acceptable, we've never had a bad experience, and the closest Thai competitor is close to twenty minutes away in Blue Springs, OP, or Downtown. read more

The food was good enough for a quick lunch, I guess. I found it all pretty bland. We got red curry pork, it smelled amazing, but then it was really pretty flavorless. And the fresh rolls were inedible, instead of a single rice paper wrapper it was covered with like 4 or 5 layers making it gummy and thick. The vermicelli inside was brown, and so was the lettuce. They were extremely unfresh. The crab rangoons are really sweet, my husband liked them, but I did not. The fish sauce to dip them in was really good though. And the fried egg rolls were good. Although they advertise Singha and Tsing Tao beers, they had neither, leaving us with an option of Bud, Bud Light, or Michelob Ultra, yuck! read more

We are fans and regulars! I love the sesame chicken and the Lee's Summit Rolls. They have great Thai Ice tea and coffee. The staff is very nice and it is very prompt. Although, I do agree with a previous post about the atmosphere...extremely quiet. I almost felt I couldn't talk at all because everyone in the whole place was listening...turn up some music please :O) read more

My new fave! Quality/quantity/price perfection. Drunken noodles are my go to and they did not disappoint! Yellow curry was the best I have ever had. Very good but I would like a bit more rice with it next time. YUM. read more

We decided to go here for dinner on Christmas night. What a treat!! First of all they brought us crab Rangoon on the house, because it was Christmas. There were 7 of us us so we ordered 2 of the appetizer sampler plates. With that you got crab Rangoon, spring rolls & egg rolls. Everyone enjoyed the spring rolls & egg rolls, the crab Rangoon was just so-so. Not our fav. I got the Thai cucumber salad, honestly, I would not get this again. My husband got the crab fried rice. He shared. yum!!! Incredible, I could have this every time!!! My daughter got the pad Thai w/shrimp hot, she loved it. My son had the chili chicken Thai hot, he loved it. Very spicy! The ambience was great. They had Hob Nob Merlot, which is one of my favorites. Will definitely go back!! read more

It's in a strip mall, and the decor is less-than-inspiring, but if you live or work in the area, it's a great choice for Thai. By food alone (and if you don't care about the super pedestrian wine and beer list), it's just as good as anywhere else I've been. The pad thai is a great choice for the less adventurous, while the drunken noodles are also very good. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Thai curry, and both the red and green curries are excellent. I haven't noticed any blandness, but I always order my spice level at 'hot' (not 'Thai hot'). The crab rangoon is excellent as well. It's not fancy, but after several trips here, I have absolutely no complaints about the food. read more

Ordered the tofu Pad Thai and Veggie Lovers. The Pad Thai was very bland and the Veggie Lovers was not good at all. It consisted of a scoop of overcooked veggies swimming in a watery salty sauce. Not good at all. read more

I go to lunch here a few times a week, often take-out. Food is consisitantly great (the red curry chicken is WONDERFUL) and their crab rangoon's are awesome. read more

Thai Spice Lees Summit - Thai Near Me - Lee's Summit, Missouri

I was in town for work for 4 days and are here twice. I travel the country with my job and eat Thai at least once a week and this is easily In my top places. The price is great for the quality/quantity. The soup you get with the lunch special is phenomenal and you can tell everything is fresh. The spice levels are pretty accurate and the staff is awesome. Would definitely recommend. read more

Love this spot. The fusion allows me to have the best of all Asian cuisine. Staff does a great job.

Stopped by this establishment on Mother's Day. We had a wonderful waiter and the food was okay. Unfortunately our entire experience was mediocre due to the rudeness of another employee who ignored our attempts to get her attention, had earbuds in while working, and overall had a sour attitude. We later learned she was the sous-chef's daughter, which according to the other employees, gives her the excuse to be rude to customers?.. It's too bad this ruined our outing, as I was really looking forward to finding a good Thai restaurant in LS. I guess this goes to show how important customer service is, and how it can affect your dining experience! read more

The food was great! My wife and I always enjoy eating here. Very cozy and the estafe is friendly

One of my favorite places in Lees Summit. Fresh and spicy and great service. Highly recommend.

Took the family there for Christmas Day dinner with Dad. Food was great, menu had tons of sushi and Thai options. We will be back!

Cucumber salad is great, Pineapple fried rice is extra good, Chicken.KCMO.Thai extra spicy was very tasty! We also had their appetizer sampler which was also very good. Nothing but good to say about the food, the hot tea wasn't very good but I like green tea. Try this place if you get a chance. read more

The dude below got it right. I LOVE drunken noodle dishes and this place makes a good one! Not sure I've ever tried the sushi. They also have a tamarind dish that I've enjoyed many times. Service is usually prompt and polite. It is my go-to place for Thai food1. read more

I've never been a huge fan of Asian cuisine (too many veggies) but my fiancee loves it. She used to go to a Thai place in Wichita and hasn't had it since we moved to KC. A review for Thai Spice appeared recently and I took notice. Last night, I surprised her and took her here. The decor was very classy and upscale, but still casual. Nice classical piano playing on the overhead speakers. We were sat down immediately and ordered a couple of sodas. We ordered the Crab Rangoon and Tiger Cry Beef for appetizers. I don't eat crab rangoon, but I tried it, at the fiancee's behest. It was both meaty and sweet, which I'm not used to. I think they use real crab meat, not imitation. The Tiger Cry Beef was incredible! The sauce was quite spicy, but the meat was excellent even without the sauce. I ordered the Garlic and Pepper pork and she ordered the Pad Thai with chicken. The meat was delicious. I enjoyed my meal. My fiancee also enjoyed her pad thai. The service was friendly and quick. The food came out very quickly. Bill was a touch on the high end for us, as we prefer cheaper meals, but ordering 2 appetizers will ring you up a bit. We have no complaints about the place. Take a visit yourself. We will likely come back when we get the Thai craving. read more

Still my favorite go to in Lee's Summit for Thai. The drunken noodles, crab fried rice and curry dishes can't be beat. The crab in the crab fried rice is real crab, no imitation and tastes amazing. Try it instead of shrimp fried rice. There are a couple of items that the owner should look at fixing with carryout service. I have a large family and the restaurant is very small so we generally do carry out. It's just inconvenient to dine in at Thai Spice. That's fine since I prefer carryout. When I use the website to online order I always put a tip on the bill so it's a prepaid order with tip. This should be very easy for the restaurant since I don't take up a table yet they make the same amount of money and tip. Granted there are no drink sales making profit from carry out. But, each time I order carryout I feel like I'm inconveniencing the staff. Usually I walk into the restaurant, without a greeter, go to the bar and watch 5 or 6 staff walk to the bar and ring up table orders without even saying hi or acknowledging my presence. Eventually someone will say "carryout, what did you order". Not a pleasant experience for a $50-$75 order. Lately the online order has been returning a 90 min wait for carryout also. Keep this in mind since they close at 10pm. Don't order online after 8:30pm. read more

By far, one of my favorite locations for Asian cuisine. Thai Spice sits inside of a strip mall and upon first glance you may not think much of it. I cannot begin to tell you that in this case, what you see is not what you get. It is easy to forget you are sitting in a strip mall. The service is phenomenal. The servers sneak in and ouy of your space with little detection. They are eager to make your experience go well. The Thai tea is outstanding...you must try it. The crab rangoon are light and flaky, a melt in your mouth experience that is tasty. My favorite dish is the spicy green bean with chicken. Give it a try...you will be pleasantly surprised. read more
